The research on behavior and crime and the range of techniques And experiments and observations is so very helpful to bring about new statistics and analysis to try to help people get surfers from social psychology

By Arpitha S on 6/14/2025

Yes, indeed. The Course is well-designed to make it as learner- friendly as possible, by not involving too much jargons. It is very much comprehensive than any other contemporary material available.

By Ayan Ghosh on 6/6/2025

This course gave me a clear understanding of why criminals behave the way they do. It's simple, interesting and useful for anyone studying Law or Psychology. The examples helped a lot.

As a Private Investigator i use many different resources to complete a case or profile. Criminology and Offender Profiling is fundamental in build a case and solving cold Cases and homicide cases.

By Oyindrila Sarkar on 10/4/2024

It is the amazing and very helpful course. I have huge interest on this field thus I have applied this course. All videos are so perfect and I would appreciate the course manual, this helps me a lot. besides watching videos, i can also read the manual and note down alongside.

By Bernadette Lugies on 8/8/2024

I expected more. The theory was dry, I was glad I got a handout that I could read. The pronunciation of a lot of words are wrong, which made it hard for me to follow as a non-English speaker.

By Akala Murray on 1/8/2024

Because thus far the material has been presented in a clear and concise manner.

By Dhiyanakshara on 6/13/2023

It was really a nice course as I expected.The contents were simple and less but that's enough for beginners.if anyone searching for extra knowledge about this topic,I won't suggest this.... but for beginners like me ,it would be great.

By Michael C. LaFerney on 1/25/2023

This course in 2 hours provides as much useful information as some semester long college courses I have taken in this subject. It covers multiple areas of criminal psychology including types of crimes, investigational procedures, and penalties. A great course for those interested in this topic.

By Sebastian SABU Windsong on 1/24/2023

The information is pertinent to the topic. I am grateful for the CC option due to the difference in pronouncing words.
